I've been digging into the IBM Cloud Services, Watson and NLP. Just installed the CLI and tried with Node SDKs, and a starterkit, unfortunately I did not succeed by trying to get a sample code by default to understand how it works.
After that, I did some research get a better open minded approach to how actually I could use some of their free services to get started, but there's actually to vague information, even though the IBM Docs are pretty extensive and well written, it can get very confusing.
I would appreciate any open source repo, or working/live project that you are willing to share to make a better image in my mind about it IBM cloud services.
A few days ago I wrote a sample application using the Natural Language Understanding service. Check the source code here: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/natural-language-understanding-code-pattern
The README has instructions on how to get the apikey which is the way you will use to authenticate your API calls.
Since you are using Node.js you can start with the sample above and also look at this page: https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/natural-language-understanding/natural-language-understanding?code=node which includes examples for all the features in Node.js using the node-sdk: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/node-sdk/

I am pretty new to flutter.I just developed a reminder app.But that was mostly only front-end.But my next project I want to build a meat delivery service app.But this requires me to work on the backed as well.I have been getting pretty vague answers on the backend part of flutter.
Can anyone explain what like how exactly should I go with backend.I know Python for the start.Also you can use dart as well.I am confused.I just want to finish off things in the optiminum period of time.
I think you can use the App Write.io, this project is open-source and free, you can install the server and everything will free for you. Btw: App Write has the Flutter SDK. And this project has much big community
Can you more information from here
firebase is pretty good but you need to have an API. there is no other way to do backend without API. here is the whole documentation about restApi https://medium.com/swlh/restful-api-documentation-made-easy-with-swagger-and-openapi-6df7f26dcad
I am doing research on quickbooks online integration using node and angular 8.
The official intuit developer site provides two node packages.
one is official from intuit and one is from community.
I have glanced through both of them.
the official package is fairly universal. It essentially is just a API client to send a request to remote server and the payload is basic json format.
the community package seems a bit more specific but the documentation seems a bit confusing.
Which one would you choose to do the work and why?
I would love to hear your input.
Thanks :)
The Intuit provided library (intuit-oauth) is specifically for authenticating and getting the OAuth token you need to communicate with the Quickbooks API, the other library (node-quickbooks) is for making the actual calls against the API endpoints.
You will need both libraries, unless you are handling authentication in a different way.
Fwiw for whoever finds this useful:
I forked intuit-oauth, added typescript and fixed vulnerabilities that have been fixed in the PRs of their repo for years and never updated here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/intuit-oauth-ts
Additionally I forked node-quickbooks, updated the api to return promises rather than relying on callbacks, resolved the discovery URLs automatically, changed the format of response objects to be more sensible, and added (unfortunately only some) of the typescript definitions for it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/qbo. I don't have enough time to add the definitions for all of the files (largey because the included ones should be completely exhaustive for every property in the QBO api, which is timeconsuming to define). If someone would like to contribute by adding more of the typescript definitions or adding all of them, I would really appreciate it.
I am interested in any example angular app using intuit-oauth
Trying to work it out but getting issues since there is no document for typescript.
I've an application which is deployed. I'd created simple get fetch services on cloud in a project and have deployed it. Unfortunately in confusion b/w the projects, I deleted the project. I can access the web service by fetching through urls but couldn't get the source code. Any help?
At the moment it's only possible to download Java, Python, PHP and Go application's source code.
What I can recommend you is to submit a Feature Request through this link asking for this feature also for Node.js. Also you may consider using Cloud Source Repositories, which is free and can help you mitigate this kind of issues in the future.
I using the upcoming weekend to check two things off of my 2013 project list:
Give Cloud Development A Try
Try ANGULAR.JS
My game plan is to set up the MEAN stack on Nitrous.IO and then use the stack to complete one of the many Angularjs tutorial projects available online.
Questions:
I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has set up the MEAN stack on Nitrous or otherwise or if anyone is aware of any good blog post that go through the process for someone with little to no javascript development experience.
Also, if you have setup a MEAN stack are there any things you would do differently or are there any invaluable resources I should be aware of.
Some Resources I Found Useful:
I've been researching online for the past week and have uncovered some great resources, but it would be great to see what others have found or can suggest. Below are some links to some resources that I have come across that may be helpful to others:
Building Angular Start-up Stack - Toronto Meetup Stream
Egghead.io Offers some great Video tutorials on Angular
Google's Angular site has a wealth of info.
USC Linux User Group Youtube video on MEAN on Amazon AWS
Thanks in advance for any resources, insights or guidance.
Since you are starting on JavaScript I would suggest that you start simple. For example
Build a simple web site with Node.js and Express (no Angular, no Mongo).
Deploy it to the cloud.
Then add Angular and see how the structure changes when you use an MVC framework on the client side (e.g. your backend becomes a plain REST API).
Then, play with Node.js and Mongo probably outside your simple Node/Express/Angular app to get the hand of a NoSQL database and database access from Node.js (the fact that everything is async brings some interesting challenges for beginners)
Then integrate Mongo into your app.
Ok, here's how I successfully set-up the MEAN stack on Nitrous.IO.
First, many thanks to Valeri V. Karpov and his The Code Barbarian blog. In July he had a blog post titled Introduction to the MEAN Stack, Part One: Setting Up Your Tools. I primarily followed his article, only making adjustment dictated by the Nitrous cloud platform.
So here are the steps:
Create A Nitrous Box: Go to the Nitrous site and sign-up for an account. Please note the free account does not provide enough storage to accommodate the full MEAN Stack. You'll need at least a "Start" pricing plan - at $9.99 per month.
Create A Nodejs Box: Once you complete your registration and select a pricing plan, its time to create a Nodejs box. Follow the instructions on the Nitrous site. The box comes preconfigured Nodejs.
Install Mongodb: To install Mongodb on your box, go to the shell prompt and type: parts install mongodb You can confirm the installation was successful by typing parts start mongodb. To stop the mongodb server you type parts stop mongodb.
Confirm your Node & NPM Installations: Type node at the command prompt. You should see a > sign if node is installed correctly. You are now in the node shell. Type control-c to exit the shell. Type NPM at the prompt and you should see some usage information
Install Express: type npm install express -g The -g flag means the package will be installed so you can run it from the terminal. Note, if you are using the free box you will likely encounter errors during the Express installation as a result of you exceeded the allocated storage.
From here on you can follow Valeri's article at Step 4 Creating an ExpressJS application..
Good luck and enjoy.
Use Bitnami https://bitnami.com/stack/mean. I like it a lot, pretty simple and concise. In my case it was for Windows and it was a seamless experience
I am new to cloud computing. I created a new cloud solution using Visual Studio 2010.
I need to deploy my solution somewhere in order to test it.
As I saw in my researches, I should have an account on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/account/
Currently i do not have an account there, so where should I deploy my application, and how can i test it?
If you go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsazure/cc974146.aspx you can download the whole SDK and other tools which essentially allows you to run Azure on your local machine. It requires you to have SQL Server installed.
Apologies for the lack of details, it's quite a while since I did it myself. But, poke around on that page and you'll find all the tools and documenation you need. It's a big, hairy thing to get your head around so you'll need to set some time aside to just read, sadly.
Best resource to get started is the Azure training kit, get it here:

Watch some videos then dive into the labs, the best teacher is hands on experience.
